I'm looking to upgrade to a 15mm dellorto on the blue moby model 7. There isn't much out there on this bike, so before I leap I'm going to pick all your sage brains. I'm having a hard time finding the ideal carb (which I think is a Dellorto PHBG with the cable choke and rubber gasket connection). I've attached a pdf with the five options I can find in that size. I'm leaning toward options 1, 2, or 3, but here they are with pro's and con's as I see them (pricing is from Treats):
1. PHBG 15mm AS: the good; three jets, mixture screw, lots of tuning options. not a clamp-on. the bad; this is a pull choke (but i never really use my choke), so it wouldn't be accessible under my side covers, plus this is a $95 carb....
2. PHBG 15mm BS: the good; three jets, mixture screw, lots of tuning options. not a clamp-on, and this is a cable choke. plus it's only $70. the bad; this is a racing choke with no apparent way to mount an air filter....
3. CLONE 15mm SHA: the good; this is a copy of the dellorto 15mm SHA with the mixture screw added- better tuning. it's cable choke. plus, this is cheap as hell, only $55 and it comes with the 19mm shim (which i think i'll need) and the filter assembly. the bad; this is a copy, and a clamp on carb.
4. 15mm SHA cable choke: the good; this is the dellorto 15mm SHA, it's only $66, it's for the 19mm OD (which i think i'll need), and has the filter assembly. it's a cable choke setup. the bad; this is a clamp on carb, and has no mixture screw - few tuning options.
5. 15mm SHA: the good; this is the dellorto 15mm SHA, and has the filter assembly. the bad; this is a clamp on carb, and has no mixture screw, is for the 18mm OD intake (I think this is for Tomos bikes) and it's a push choke. This one doesn't even look like it's worth considering for my setup.
